The 20-year-old says the Uruguay international is Arsene Wenger's top target and believes the striker will boost the club's chances of winning silverware this season

Arsenal goalkeeper Damian Martinez has urged Arsene Wenger to break the bank in order to sign Liverpool striker Luis Suarez this summer.
The Uruguayan claimed in an interview with the Guardian on Tuesday that he had been promised a move following the club's failure to secure a place in this season's Champions League.
Liverpool owner John W Henry has since reiterated that the club will not sell the 26-year-old, who is currently training away from the first team.
Arsene Wenger maintains Arsenal will continue to be "amicable" in their pursuit of Suarez and Martinez believes the forward could be the key to boosting his side's title chances.
"We are all waiting for Suarez to join Arsenal," Martinez told Goal.
"Arsene Wenger wants him more than anybody else. I hope the deal gets done so we can aim at something more than qualifying for the next Champions League.
"Let's see if we can break the bank and bring him in."
Brendan Rodgers insists the club are in control of the situation and says Suarez will be permitted to rejoin first-team training sessions when he accepts that he will remain at Anfield this summer.
Martinez. :haha:

Edinson Cavani has accused *Liverpool of breaking a promise to Luis Suarez that they would allow the Uruguayan striker to join a club in the Champions League.
Suarez has insisted he was given assurances by Brendan Rodgers that he could leave Anfield to play in *Europe’s top club competition – after being shocked by the news that a £40,000,001 bid from Arsenal had not triggered a buy-out clause.
And Cavani, the international strike-partner of Suarez, who moved from Napoli to Paris Saint-Germain for £55m, says his friend has been TOO loyal to Liverpool.
Canavi said: “The Liverpool coach can talk about loyalty and disrespect, but maybe he needs to look up what it means.
“Luis had the chance last year to join a big club like Juventus, who went on to win the league in Italy.
“But, instead, he chose to stay and fight with Liverpool. Now, that’s what you call loyalty.
“I’ve known about his agreement with Liverpool and understood that he would be leaving, if they were not playing in the Champions League.”
Cavani. :bow: :haha:
